ARCHITECTVRAL TERRA COTTA* * "STANDARD CONJTRVCTION 


Foreword 

T he use of burned clay ware in the form of brick, tile or pottery has been 
uninterrupted and universal from the dawn of civilization to the present day. 
The use of burned clay in the form of Architectural Terra Cotta has been 
more sporadic and local. Its unequalled merits as a building, material were fully 
appreciated by the Greeks and Tuscans who, two thousand years ago, used it to 
face the perishable stone in some of their Temples. Centuries passed, during 
which the art of making Architectural Terra Cotta seems to have been confined to 
short periods and to a few localities. In modern times the creator of the sky¬ 
scraper— the progressive American Architect — working with the responsive and 
enterprising Manufacturer, re-discovered, improved and ' gave to an appreciative 
Public this most durable and versatile of all building materials. 

Today it is a matter of common knowledge among Architects that modern 
Terra Cotta possesses many superior qualities; that it may be economically made 
in an endless variety of forms and colors; that, if well made, properly set and care¬ 
fully pointed, it is permanently enduring and resists successfully the ravages of water 
and fire; that it combines lightness with strength and beauty with usefulness. 

The purpose of this book, prepared through the co-operation of nearly all the 
manufacturers of Architectural Terra Cotta in the United States, is to facilitate 
the use of this material; to save time, trouble and expense to all concerned by 
disseminating accurate and dependable information on proper methods of jointing 
and construction. Nearly all of these methods have been in practical use for 
some years. 

This work is in no sense intended to be a book of artistic aspirations. It 
does not presume to even suggest architectural design; it merely contains generally 
accepted architectural forms of assumed dimensions and their proper interpretation 
in Architectural Terra Cotta. For a number of the problems several good solu¬ 
tions are possible and the preference is sometimes governed by very slight modi¬ 
fications of profiles and dimensions. But attention is called particularly to the 
fact that considerable variations in sizes of similar sections may necessitate 
changes in both jointing and construction. Hence, none of the plates may exactly 
apply if the scale is reduced or increased. 

The characteristics peculiar to Architectural Terra Cotta and the extreme 
difficulties encountered in the vagaries of clay before it is finally conquered and 
forever fixed by fire, can hardly be understood by those who have not been 
engaged in its manufacture. Therefore, harmonious co-operation between de¬ 
signers and manufacturers is imperative in order to produce the best results. 
Unfavorable shapes or dimensions, or arbitrary arrangement of engaging or 
supporting materials, may not only increase the cost of production and of erection, 
but may also produce unsatisfactory results, both aesthetically and constructively. 
But where the important rules of jointing and construction are observed, well made 
Architectural Terra Cotta is the ideal building material of the Twentieth Century. 

This book is respectfully dedicated to our best friends — the Architects and 
the Architectural Engineers and their Assistants — with the sincere hope that they 
will endorse its value and express their appreciation of our efforts by receiving, 
treating and consulting it as a trustworthy friend of the office.
